AN:

I kind of want to go towards the humor of a novela/soap opera but I don't know if I can pull that off without it looking like a watered down serious attempt. xp

Italics are for thoughts, dreams and flashbacks. *

(Btw this chapter includes a mini musical number because why not? The lyrics are underlined. See if you can guess what show tune it's parodying. ;D)

Prepare for cheese. And my bad sense of humor xD

*Thoughts within dreams is normal text.

"Yeesh, you don't have to be so sappy about it." Tatsumaki gently shoved her off. "Sorry, might be the hormones." Princess Fiona smiled sheepishly. "I'm expecting." "Oh, really? Congrat-" She paused, Fiona's words quickly dawning on her. "YOU CAN'T BE PREGNANT AS ME!" Her words were strongly emphasized by her angry hands.

She pointed at Fiona, scowling. "ESPECIALLY IF IT'S OUT OF PRE-MARITAL YIFF!" Fiona was more confused than frightened by the midget's anger. "Do you mean wedlock?" She brought a finger up to her cheek, her braid drooping slightly over her shoulder. "Because Shrek and I are married." "THE POINT IS, we have to switch back as soon as possible." Fiona hugged herself. It was only then that the two studied each other's appearances.

The forest green gown on Tatsumaki draped over her ankles. Had her curly green hair not been a different shade as her olive skin, the loose strands would've blended into her face. On the other hand, Fiona's red hair stood out more now that she returned to a more human appearance. Tatsumaki took note of the gray tights underneath her work outfit. "What's wrong with my outfit?" Her eyes squinted suspiciously. "Nothing." Fiona sweat-dropped, which made Tatsumaki squint more. "Seeing a sweat-drop on her looks wrong." Tatsumaki thought to herself.

"Sorry! All these weird 'emotion accessories' have been happening a lot lately." Tatsumaki eyed her a bit more, then crossed her arms and faced away from her. "Looks like we better hurry before you get more than just my telepathy." "It's a little faint, actually. But yeah, I see your point. By the way.." She crouched down to Tatsumaki's eye level. "At this point we know each other's names, but we still need to introduce ourselves." She grinned. "I'm Fiona." She held out her hand. "Tatsumaki, but my hero name is Tornado of Terror."

"So your name is actually Tornado? That's so cool!" "Well, translated, yes. And we've been like this since.." Tatsumaki frowned, placing a fist on her cheek. "I wish I could help, but I haven't kept track of time either." Fiona grinned sheepishly.

"Can you curse for me?" Tatsumaki stated suddenly. "Excuse me?" She arched an eyebrow. "Please, I don't have as many swear passes as I used to. You can use my F-pass."

"I don't know. I mean, I don't want to say a strong word in front of a kid." A vein popped on Tatsumaki's forehead. "I'm probably older than you, Princess Pregnant!"

"For someone who's trying to prove she's an adult, you sure aren't helping your case." Tatsumaki scowled, sitting down with defeat. Fiona decided to sit next to her.

"Hey, is that why Shrek and I being together is so controversial? Because if that's the case, then I'm so sorry, I'll tell-"

"That's not it. I'm twenty-eight, and Saitama, the body Shrek is in, is twenty-five. It's just- Look, can we just focus on getting input from each other? We don't know how long we have in this void."

"But that is input. We're humans, and heroes too. So how come people still look at Shrek like-"

"He was still an ogre." Tatsumaki finished. "Yeah.."
